In preparing for this exhibition,
please note that ICECA can provide only equipment for exhibition of works, and
is extremely limited on financial assistance in case of special hardware
required. Therefore the
Festival will generally only accept works which it can accommodate using
available equipment (PCs
computers, video projectors, sound equipment, video/web cameras, vcd/dvd/cdrom
players, still cameras and alike.
One of our sponsors is providing
international airway transportation for selected works. In case your
work/installation requires such transport please mark clearly: “support in transport required” and include detailed information
about the cargo (detailed description, dimensions, value and several images of
the equipment being part of the work).
Many media installations require
complex installation and custom hardware, in case you wish to submit a work which requires special setup
please mark your proposal clearly and please include technical specs advance (in Thai or English) together with
videos of exhibited works. These videos will be presented in lieu of the work
itself in case the festival is unable to find the financial/technical solution
to present the work itself.
ICECA also requests your (the
artist’s) permission, to
include a copy of the submitted work in ICECA’s Digital New Media Art Library (already including nearly 100
international works from previous events).
Submissions will be reviewed by
the advisory board of SWU Faculty of Fine Arts with the help of volunteer art
students. A final decision will be made by artistic director of the Festival
Francis Wittenberger. The Festival reserve the right to reject works, yet a detailed
note will be issues to each artist both in case of acceptance or rejection.
